Hi Agustín,

If they are totally unaware of KDE (which may very well be the case) I think 
you can dispatch slides 2 to 12 by saying:

"KDE is a worldwide community of Free Software developers. All the software we 
produce is under a Free license, comes at no cost, and is designed to protect 
users' and companies' freedoms and privacy."

If you must, put that text on a slide and include an URL, but I advise you DO 
NOT go through all the slides you have prepared on this topic. They are way 
too long, too in depth,  and distracts too much from the main topic, which is 
KDE/Qt tech on embedded systems for automotive.

If you point them to some websites where they can read up more, maybe include 
a slide with a QR at the end of the presentation, you're good. (I have 
attached a QR code that points to https://kde.org for you to use).

Also, it is more interesting to interact with your audience than just talk at 
them, so leaving out the long-winded part about the structure of the community 
and its history, will give you more time to talk *with* the audience.

I would also advise you always accompany with a visual of the product you are 
talking about. You want to plant the brand firmly in their brains and have 
them associate it with the software.

Cheers

Paul
